By acute oral, subcutaneous and intravenous administration to rats, amidone is several times more toxic than morphine. On a subacute basis, amidone is but slightly more toxic than morphine to rats and dogs.
There is little evidence of development of tolerance to the depressant action of amidone in dogs.
Amidone produces a hyperglycemic response in dogs to which tolerance develops on continued administration.
